I couldn't find any information on Besouro in English so, in the ancient tradition of amusing the myself, I will use Babelfish to render translated of awkwards (link):
Manoel Henrique Pereira (1895-1924), Besouro Mangangá or Besouro Cordão de Ouro was a capoeirista legend of the region of Santo Amaro, Bahia. Many and huge made are attributed to it. They said that it did not like the policy (that diverse times it was frustou trying to arrest it), that it had " body fechado" e that bullets and punhais could not feriz it. Certain made when Beetle worked in a plant, for not receiving the commanded one, it held the master for cavanhaque compelling to pay what he had to it.
The circumstances of its death are contradictory. It has versions of that it was in a confrontation with the policy, others of that was in " trairagem" , in one it has attacked of knife for the coasts. This last one is very sung and transmitted verbally in the capoeira. A farmer known for Dr. Zeca, after its Memeu son to apanhar of Beetle, laid an ambush ordering to deliver it a ticket to a friend who managed making the Maracangalha. Such ticket asked for so that its carrier was died. Beetle, illiterate, could not read that ticket was addressed to its assassin and clarified that the carrying one was the victim, thus in the following day when coming back to know the reply 40 soldiers was waiting Beetle. A man known for Eusébio de Quibaca made right a knife to it of tucum (or ticum) - a wooden type. Beetle would have been, then, esfaqueado with the such knife of tucum for the coasts.
